The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Light on the subjects

I admit up front, as it were, that I had no idea why anyone would want a solar-powered bra:

Unveiled this week in Japan, the bra works like any other solar device and when fully charged will contain enough juice to power everyday appliances such as toasters or kettles.

Of course, to gather all this power, it's got to be exposed to sunlight, and now that Madonna's pushing 50, undergarments on the outside seem to be dreadfully passé.

Maybe a future enhancement will allow the wearer to discharge some of that accumulated electricity into that lowlife on the subway who's always trying to cop a feel.
